The Very Hungry Caterpillar | Review

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is, to me, a bit of an institution. I remember reading the book when I was little with my parents and it is a book so timeless that even now, 20 years later, I am able to sit with my little boy and enjoy the same story and same beautiful illustrations. One thing that has changed over the years is how much amazingingly cool stuff you can now get from The Very Hungry Caterpillar Range! I was so super excited when we received a huge box of Eric Carle goodies as it brought all of my childhood memories of this greedy caterpillar flooding back!

The amount of stuff that is now available in The Very Hungry Caterpillar range is incredible!!! The first thing I loved about what we were sent was the party supplies. We received a banner, birthday cards, serviettes and a beautiful Hungry Caterpillar party plate. The plate was my favourite thing from the party supplies as it was such a good quality and I think I would make a real centre piece on the table amongst all your party food.

We were also sent some fantastic activity packs including a 4 in 1games box and an activity box and puzzle set. The thing I love about these activity sets is the nature theme that runs through them. They focus on helping little ones expand there knowledge of numbers and colours whilst focusing on woodland creatures and insects. I think that these sets were a little too old for bubba but would be perfect for children from about 5 onwards.

I think my favourite item that was sent through was the Nature Walk Scrap book. I love this and am going to be keeping it safe until Bubs is old enough to use it properly as it is such a lovely book. The whole idea of this scrap book seems to me to be to get families out and about and exploring. There are section for you to stick in leaves and draw pictures of things you would find during a walk through the woods. The scrap book also prompts the child by asking them to find certain things in the woods and write about them. As I said before, I think that this is a little too old for Bubba at the moment but I can't wait to use it when he is older and has a bit more of an understanding and think it would make a perfect, unusual gift for children aged 5 +.

Overall, the range of items available from The Hungry Caterpillar range is HUGE and way surpassed what I was expecting. I think that the majority of the range is a little too old for bubs right now but for children just starting school, these items would be perfect.
